Head of Facilities

Axiom Custom Products is a custom manufacturer and designer servicing the creative, events, retail, and construction industries. We blend old and new manufacturing technologies with decades of experience to deliver unmatched quality.

Behind every smooth-running operation is someone who keeps the lights on, the equipment humming, and the environment safe and efficient. That someone could be you.

We’re looking for a Head of Facilities who isn’t afraid to roll up their sleeves and take ownership of everything from building systems to manufacturing infrastructure. With over five years of experience in a similar role, you’re no stranger to the inner workings of a busy shop, you know what it takes to keep things running, and you do it with confidence and care.

You’ll be the go-to person for maintaining and repairing equipment, coordinating with vendors, and ensuring that every piece of our shop is functioning just as it should. Your understanding of safety standards, whether it’s OSHA, local or state requirements, means you’ve not only worked within regulations but have taken pride in building and maintaining programs that keep people safe.

But you’re more than just technically skilled. You’re proactive, organized, a clear communicator, and comfortable using maintenance software to keep everything documented and on track. Whether you’re leading a small team or running a project from the ground up, you bring structure, energy, and follow-through.

You thrive in fast‑paced environments where no two days are exactly the same. Challenges don’t rattle you, they motivate you. And while you can take charge when needed, you’re also a true collaborator and mentor who knows the value of teamwork.

We operate collaboratively and expect all team members to be proactive problem‑solvers. The role requires being on‑site in a shop environment with exposure to a wide range of tools, machinery, and processes, with a strong emphasis on safety best practices. The 75,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility is dynamic and ever‑changing, demanding adaptability.

• Oversee Building Operations & Security: Manage all daily building operations, maintenance, repairs, and utilities. Serve as the primary contact for our landlord, and manage all security, access control, and waste management systems.
• Maintain Shop Equipment & Infrastructure (Heavy Focus): Take full ownership of all production equipment, machinery, and shop systems—CNC routers, lasers, compressed air, dust collection, hand tools. Develop and track preventive maintenance schedules, perform inspections, and coordinate repairs to minimize downtime.
• Lead Safety & Regulatory Compliance: Serve as the company’s lead for all EHS (Environmental, Health, and Safety) efforts. Ensure compliance with OSHA and all local, state, and insurance requirements; manage safety programs, training, and emergency preparedness.
• Manage the Facilities Team & Projects: Lead and mentor a two‑person team. Plan, prioritize, and supervise all facilities‑related projects, ensuring they are completed on schedule and with minimal disruption to the shop.
• Manage Vendors: Oversee all facility‑related vendor relationships and service contracts. Responsible for purchasing specialty equipment, tooling, consumables, and contractor services.
• Oversee Fleet Management: Maintain company vehicles and trailers—including service schedules, repairs, and insurance documentation. Manage driver training and approvals.
